Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
17907 Fine Dust Filter installed. When
using your Vac to pick up very fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak Vac performance.
NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick
up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
Vacuuming Liquids
,_ WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float, as they prevent
liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. When this happens, turn off
the Vac, unplug the power cord, and
empty the drum. You will know that the
float has risen because Vac airflow
ceases and the motor noise will become
higher in pitch, due to increased motor
speed.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
allow the filter to dry to reduce the risk of
mildew and damage to the filter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.
Emptying the Drum
1. The Vac comes equipped with a drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and lift the
opposite side slightly to empty the
drum.
2. Another option is to remove the drum
from the Vac.
3. Pull the drum out from the Vac by
pulling down and sliding the drum on
the axle support under the drum.
4. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
5. Replace the drum by reinserting into
the cavity and push until it snaps into
place.
,_ WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or
drain enough contents out to make the
Vac light enough to lift comfortably.
